Monmouth Park Race 6

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $121,463

POGI (6) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Should park just off the speed. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. J J ZO ZO (3) settled well back last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish third over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this circuit. Bold showing expected. SMUGGLER'S GOLD (4) bounced back last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 1106m at this track (Turf). Likely to be there at the finish again. HOWLER (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 10 lengths back in fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects.
